  1. As much as I'd miss Hillsborough because of the great memories it's be a lot easier and better to build a new stadium and start new. 99% of the time the atmosphere is flat these days anyway and would be transferable to a new ground aslong as we don't do something stupid like installing a running track around the pitch
  2. Sorry if i've missed it but whats driving the limit of us signing 2 players? Is that all the EFl will sanction or is it because of something else? Seems to me like we really need 4 or 5!
  3. I'm happy with that. You'd imagine he will be an upgrade on our currently CB's. Hopefully he settles in and stakes a claim to stay on next season and get us back out of League One!
  4. Morsy would be a great addition to help Baz out in the middle of the park
  5. Inglesson would be beaten by a random fan at the half time challenge
  6. Ugbo is horrific. Any touch and he'd score and he couldn't even do that
  7. - Quick and easy stadium entry, just tapped my contactless tickets at a read at the turnstile and went straight in - Food on offer looked really appealing and kiosks were well staffed so barely any queues despite it being a full house - Wide selection of drinks - I don't drink but noted 4 lagers on tap - Stadium speakers / PA system sounded quality which really helped ramp up the atmosphere - Massive flags left on random seats which the crowd wave around for a few mins while the players walk out onto their entrance. Appreciate thats not everyones cup of tea but my 8 year old lad was buzzing when someone nearby ket him have theirs - Toilet provisions were great, barely any queues, empty cubicles, and they were generally clean with hot water. Impressive considering it was a full house - Pitch the quality of the surface looked amazing, pitch didn't cut up all game - Lighting - the lighting of the pitch was great. Felt like watching a game in 4K vs watching in SD at Hillsborough

  9. I was visiting family in the North East today and took the opportunity to go watch Newcastle Vs Spurs at St James Park. Aside from England it's the only game of live football that I've watched that doesn't involve Sheff Wed in the last 20 years. All I can say is we've been well and truly left behind in terms of our match day experience and I left feeling a bit envious that their fans get to experience that every week. Hopefully with new ownership on the horizon we can work to make big inroads to get to that level but it did make me wonder how many of us have gone to watch Premier League teams and compared the match day experience to ours?
  10. I think by call it in they mean bring it to a juncture where they tell DC he's had enough time to pay what he owes and it's sold to someone else. I don't think anyone expects them to call it in and for DC to pay up because we all know he can't.
  11. Keep the faith. I think we all want the hammer to drop every day so it's frustrating when it just rumbles on but it's coming for sure and then we'll have happier times ahead!
  12. Anyone else getting wound up at the lack of winding up order being issued so far?
  13. People saying he's playing us give him too much credit. The truth is that cash flow has been a significant issue at the club for years. Ordinarily he's been able to settle his debts albeit late. Not through him playing games, but through his inability to run a business properly. Difference now is the fans have starved him of almost all his income so those once late payments are now impossible to cover. He's absolutely goosed and it's only going to get worse for him in the coming days as every single creditor will be calling on their debt for fear we're about to head into administration/liquidation.
  14. I haven't caught up on all the posts on this subject so apologies if it's already been said but if I was a creditor to Sheff Wed / DC I'd be panicking about the HMRC potentially issuing winding up petitions / orders. I'd know NAP haven't wanted to sell the stadium debt, or force DC into liquidation but id imagine they'll be reconsidering their options in light of the fact there's a growing possibility that they'll get nothing in a few weeks!
  15. Good. I'm all for anything that expedites the removal of the cancer that is DC.
  16. Thanks for sharing. Summary - The EFL aren't bothered as long as we're fulfilling fixtures!
  17. Don't blame him, I'd do the same
  18. The EFL are useless. Don't expect any help from them. They've already proven that the only power they have is to punish the club and the fans while the owner can do what he likes!
  19. As soon as the first few go on the rest need to follow immediately. There are people willing to take the risk of the repercussions, but the repercussions exponentially reduce with every person that steps onto the pitch. When the time comes remember that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
  20. If the IFRL can't take the club off chansiri with the rap sheet he's got as a chairman I don't know whats the point of their existence
  21. Fast forward 4-6 weeks from now. Chansiri is still here with no news of selling. The stadium interest / debt issue turns out to not be the straw that broke the camels back, the EFL have given us a significant points deduction and we're failing to compete in games as the busy fixture list and our paper thin squad can't cope. At that point it might happen, although knowing our fans apathy will set in and nothing will happen.
